- Our paint kit includes enough paint for three coats of a single colour for the exterior, and if you prefer an accent colour for doors and windows, we can provide this as well at an extra charge.
- For extra protection, we can also supply a high-quality preserver you can apply inside and out, even though our protective paint usually does the job, ensuring your cabin stays in excellent condition for years. Or we can arrange for a professional painter to do it for you. It’s always your choice.
